My concerns have been listened to. I feel my mum is safe and as happy as she can be. The staff are always welcoming. I am keen activities such as tea-party for Royal wedding etc continue.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Dad has dementia and has been at Fairfield for 2 years. It is a friendly small home that caters extremely well for all their residents. The staff are brilliant, home is very clean and the food is lovely and plentiful. The only thing that would improve it is more staff to take non-mobile residents,
like my Dad, out for frequent short walks so he can see 'normal everyday life' around him. The fresh air would do him good as would the stimulation of the outside world.

Reply from Kennedy Sabapathy, Director at Fairfield House

We are grateful for the overall positive comments. The level of activities capable of being enjoyed differs from resident to resident and management are always willing to discuss this aspect with the family.

My mother has severe Alzheimer's and has been resident at Fairfield House for 3+ years.


I cared for her and my father for several years at their home and mine until this became impossible.


My mother was in her wandering phase on arrival here, the staff are very good and my mother seems content.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Fairfield House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.830 for Fairfield House is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.83

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fairfield House is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
